2012 Ford F-350 Engine Problems

“While driving my vehicle to get on to the freeway, the engine started revving and rattling I could smell something burning. When I tried to press on the brakes it wasn't working than the steering locked. I hit my emergency breaks put on my hazard light and turned off the car until a police officer arrived. I purchased the vehicle on 2/28/2020 and when I returned to pick up the truck the next day they could not produce the keys, this took about 2 weeks. On 04/06/2020 approx. …”

“The truck dash display read stop vehicle safely. I immediately looked for a driveway and found on about 50' on the left. I barely made it into the parking lot I had chosen when the engine shut down. I did not make it to a parking spot, but I was off the road. Vehicle was towed to dealer and problem was found with the egt exhaust temp sensor. It was replaced. I was billed $86.20 for the work. Aaa paid the tow, but if I hadn't had that, I'd be out that as well.”

“We have been maintaining our vehicle and had no warning lights at the time our truck died . At the time of the incident it had oil and water. We were driving on the florida turnpike at full speed when suddenly, the truck started shuddering, and then it completely lost power. A cloud of blue-white smoke came out of the back of our truck. We were lucky to be able to get off of the turnpike to a safe place. We could have been killed. The mechanic has determined that the engine is locked up and can't be fixed. Our truck only has 134,000 miles - it should not have blown up like this.”

“I was 300 miles from home for work for a week. On day 1, while driving on a residential street, I suddenly got a message on the dash that stated stop safely now . Seconds later, as I was pulling over by the curb, the truck shut itself down and would not start back up. I had to rent a vehicle (being away from home). On day 3, I tried again and it started. I drove it a block away to the place I was staying. Entering the parking lot, I got the message and it shut down again just as fast. At this point I had to arrange transport of my truck back home. $650 and 3 days later, I finally got it home. …”

“Driving along cold windy winter day, I got a message on the dash stop safely now . Motor immediately went into limp mode, complete loss of engine power to the point where I had all I could do to get out of traffic. As soon as truck came to a slow creep, motor shut off. Truck had power however engine would not turn over, basically the truck left me stranded roadside. Called Ford roadside assistance, they said it would take up to an hour to get a tow (unacceptable). I was left inside the truck with no heat. Ended up calling a friend to tow me to a better location. …”
